Hello, I had some general questions about the recoveries and how they work.

I have recently unlocked my bootloader and did the "recoveryinstallerfornoobs" process and then flashed the superuser zip file to gain root, which all worked, which is great.

So just for my understanding I had some questions:

-I guess I got some after market recovery program from the install process I did above?

-Can you only have 1 recovery program on your phone at a time

-I see in the app market there is a clockwork mod app there called "rom manager", is the same recovery app that some of this programs like Xboarder and such offer you the ability to flash (e.g. flash ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7) or is it different? With the app in the market place you can can make back ups of your current ROM but it is also the recovery app?

-The recovery app if my understanding is right is the app you boot into when you want to flash a new rom, wipe data, dalvik cache, battery stats, factory reset ...?

-Once you have root access why would you use a program to flash the clockwork recovery vs just installing it via the marketplace if they are the same?

-I just powered up in bootloader mode and then booted into recovery and notice that it says cwm based recovery v5.0.2.7 so I think I have the newest version from CWM, even newer than what is available in the market?

-I see and "X" watermarked in the back though so i believe this is "xboarder" I am surprised to see that if this app is from CWM

-How do I update this recovery in the future?

-I also don't see the app in my list of apps for ROM manager so I am starting to think the recovery and the clockwork app in the market place are different and do different things

Sorry for the long email and nood questions, however, any answers anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I got a headache reading so many questions. Felt like I was taking a final lol.

Long story short.

ROM Manager - Lets you make a backup on the entire phone. Allows you to flash ROMS.

CWM - The actual recovery. ROM Manager will go into CWM to flash the ROM or create a Nandroid backup.

Backing up Apps - I recommend using MyBackupPro.

"flash a new rom, wipe data, dalvik cache, battery stats, factory reset" - That's all done in CWM.

If you wanna update CWM, there will be a thread with the update. Usually you can flash it through ADB or flashing a zip file in CWM (same way as flashing a ROM

5.0.2.7 is the latest version of CWM
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I think I passed my final
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
Thanks very much for both replies

To confirm, the app in the market place, ROM Manager, does not work with the clockworkMod 5.0.2.7 as they are developed by different individuals?

right now it is a bit of a pain as I have to take out the battery, and of course the back cover, in order to boot into recovery (I guess the phone just goes into a sleep mode when I power down and not a fulls shut down?)

I suppose with a matching app and recovery you can use the app to boot into recovery without needing to take the battery out?

Thanks very much and I hope I can return the favor to other noobs at some point
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Here's a better answer...

Make backups of anything and everything.

Do anything and everything to get some experience for yourself.

If you break something, restore and try again.

Try different recoveries, try different roms, try different methods!

Nobody needs to ask for permission before doing anything. Just do it and learn from it! Don't be afraid of damaging your phone because with the exception of physical modification, I haven't heard of a way to break it yet. But... there's always a first.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
your phone goes into sleep mode because you probably have it set on fastboot. Go under power settings and check fastboot off, this way you don't have to take out the battery. Also there are other ways of getting into recovery mode...read binary's first thread in the general section about how to root your phone.

Revolutionary worked fine for me on Gentoo (~amd64) when I rooted my wife's T-Bolt in Nov/Dec. I rooted my T-Bolt in March using the old adb method (psneuter, replace with modded version busybox, etc.) from Gentoo as well.

Well, actually there was a minor issue with the last step of Revolutionary (installing ClockworkMod), but that was trivial to do manually. If you're running Ubuntu/Debian, then I don't believe you'll encounter the issue.
[Thunderbolt General] ztotherad:
it just sat at the 'waiting for device...' screen but i dont remember if i ran it c root permissions or not, ill def try that, thnx
[Thunderbolt General] sdnick484:
You definitely need to be root or run it via sudo. If that still doesn't work, you can generally see where it's failing by running strace on the process from another terminal (it's like truss on Solaris if you're familiar).
[Thunderbolt General] ztotherad:
ill def try that after i kidnap my gfs phone without her knowing, haha

How do I play movies, without the MHL adapter, from my Amaze to my ps3? Thanks in advance! I tried using the "Connected Media" app that came with the phone but it scans and never finds my PS3.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
You have to have the videos in .MP4 format. Make a folder on your memory card or internal storage. Call it PS3. Within the PS3 Folder, make another folder called Videos. Put the videos in there.

so it'll be like

Memory card/Internal Storage -> PS3 -> Videos
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
Use the imediashare app thru wifi works great for YouTube and videos on your phone and format doesn't matter most videos play. The only thing I can't figure out is how to play the market movies or rentals I really want to figure out a way because the prices are less for rentals then ps3 store or the Xbox live store.

Just flashed this rom, and so far it feels really quick, and snappy, good job fellas, im going to post if i have any issues, but so far everything seems to be in working order, cant wait to see what your team can do!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Master&Slave™:
Thanks, this was just to see what you guys report and stuff, so we can fix and add.

Also its the first time that Melvin deals with source so thats why you might find few bugs and not a lot things you can play with, but as soon as he starts getting really familiar with, the ROM will have a lot of features as old versions of beastmod
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Master&Slave™:
I think that issue comes from stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Master&Slave™:
Thanks for reporting. We will fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I think it has something to do with the gapps package.. I know a few times on eaglesblood if I flashed an old gapps the keyboard would do that until I flashed a different gapps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Master&Slave™:
You have a link or something so i can tell my partnet Melvin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bxsteez:
I will definitely give this a try after the stock keyboard issue is corrected. I used Melvin's Sensation ROM back when I owned that phone. It was pretty good.

Sweet ROM. Been using since morning. I just can't find setting to enable Xloud?

I would love to use it. Also, would be amazing to see an option to change soft key color to blue. Maybe in future release..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Master&Slave™:
Xloud works by itself, it makes the sound clearer and higher. And we will see about the key colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Master&Slave™:
Thanks for the link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mellll:
Thanks! I also have keyboard bug but I will fix it later with Gapps install.

What is this bug report that keeps popping up every 2 min on this ROM now? It opebs my email client is has some "bug report.txt" that waa to be sent but sender field is empty.

What is this?

Should be ok. It stopped now. Got one question.

How can I get the Google search bar on the home screens to display Google instead of it being blank?

Again. Some "bug report" crap is trying to send a .txt file. Keyboard bug, every word seems like error.

Too many bugs and annoyances. Removing for now.

I will retry your ROM once these issues are fixes. Other than that its a nice ROM.

I've had my Nook Color for a while now, had had it auto-nooterd with 1.0.0. Yesterday I decided I was going to update it to the latest firmware, so I wiped it clean but now when I start it up, and go through all the B&N stuff, it gets to the sign in screen and when I log in with my B&N email and password it goes directly to the Error screen and says "we're having trouble setting up your Nookcolor...." I have tried to setup a new login with a different e-mail but the same thing happens after I submit my new info.

I have tried resetting the nook color again but I still get the same error messages. Does anyone know what is wrong with my Nookcolor?

[EVO 4G General] 4g4me:
Hey guys, I am currently running ICS mod 2.5 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364075&highlight=gps) . I just recently noticed the regulatory domain setting on the wifi advanced settings and I have done some searching but I havent been able to find the optimum settings. Now i know some of you would say "well that depends on the networks you will be around and the country you are in" Until this setting showed up on the most recent rom (ICS mod 2.0 er something) I had never seen this setting or any problems.

The first time I found this setting i selected 11 because that sounded right and I could never get a connection- I had to flash my backup. Then a few days ago I decided to come back to ICS mod and flashed 2.5 and had GPS issues so I flashed the fix (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1132412&highlight=gps+fixes) and my WIFI dropped out permanently. I would get the neighbors wifi (on a WRT-54G I only know because I set it up ... DD-WRT! ) that is over 500 ft away but not my own TP LINK DD-WRT N-router in my computer room that was 20 ft away? So I flashed all the new radios with fingers crossed ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485 Thanks Caulk!) That fixed nothing. I flashed this wifi - N fix ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158629 ) that fixed nothing. I wiped 3x with kings format and flashed the rom from scratch and I still could not pickup my own router. So as I was picking through posts on XDA someone said something about the regulatory domain.... So I decided to look it up and see if anyone else had the same issue. I didnt find any post immediately so I decided to look up the optimum settings- didnt find it immedately so I started plundering. I set my router and my phone to the highest possible settings and BAM! just like that my network was on and I received an IP faster that ever before.

So I ask does anyone have any insight or best practices ? Why did this just become an issue as I have been flashing custom roms since July 4 2009 (I didn't see any fireworks that night) Anyone else have similar issues? I figured since I didnt find anything about this I could start a thread

Also does restricting the channels in an N network hinder the networks speed? As wireless standards allow multiple channels for use by different links to accommodate greater speeds, am I throttling my N network?

However on my play managed to get adw ex for 12p and I really love it. Seems smoother than Go. I like being able to resize the icon sizes.

The only thing I do miss is being able to put folders in the app list like you can in go. Handy to have all games together etc.

My phone seems to be slowing down a little, and id hate to switch to ADW, to find out its even slower, then have to switch back.

Okay so my friends optimus s was bricked after he tried doing a factory reset from the main menu. I've tried doing all the un-brick methods and the emergency mode wont hold long enough to complete any of them. My question is will putting anything on the sd card help? I can put the sd card into my phone, transfer files, etc, and return it to the optimus.

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cekuhnen:
well for the SD card to work you need to be able to get into recovery mode.

can you do this? is the phone rooted?

I bricked my Optimus T and was not able to get into anything and actually put it into emergency mode and used a tool to copy a stock image back onto the phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dsuffern:
I can't get the Optimus into recovery and its tough to get it into Emergency mode even. However my Evo is rooted, and I can just use the Optimus' SD card in the Evo to view/edit the contents. Just was wondering if that would be of any help. Thanks for the reply

Also, when I get it into emergency mode, it says download is in progress, do not disconnect cable. Is this normal?

So I just tried to unlock my girlfriend's Incredible 2 with the HTCdev website, which I've never had to use before because my Eris didn't need it, and my Bionic is obviously not HTC. I'm confident I did everything correctly, I know how to use the command line, I know how to use fastboot, I did everything the website says, and when I get to the point where you copy and paste the bootloader token and submit it, this is what I get in return:

We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won\'t work.

Can anyone think of any reason I would get this response? THanks for your help
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blackepoxy:
copy and paste

Are you actually coping and pasting the token?

That could be the problem, maybe you should exactly type it in.

HTC's faq's on the site reads as follows:

Why doesn’t my token work?

Your token must be exactly the block of text that

is highlighted in step 9. Do not copy the INFO or

(bootloader) prefix, or the process will not

register properly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lemonoid:
figured out the problem. Kinda common sense, but some people could get thrown off. This thread Can be deleted if need be, but it could also be used for reference in case anyone else has this error. this is what happened. I'm not using my Linux, I'm using windows 7, so I had to Mark the field and then copy it, and paste it for submission. The guide says to copy and paste the text beginning and ending with: <<<< Identifier Token Start >>>> and <<<< Identifier Token End >>>> .... this is a two line example of the text that was in my command prompt that I originally copied and pasted.

<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>

(bootloader) 2D170E92EC8F6235F6C0F694B6D901EE

(bootloader) DEF0677963610E682A52E5B9A126B95E

this did not work, as some may would say is common sense because the guide on the htcdev site did not show the text (bootloader) in the example, however it did simply say to copy and paste all the text in the body between those two end points. This is just a portion of what the text should look like that you need to submit to the site, this is not the entire bootloader token, only what is needed to give an example:

<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>

2D170E92EC8F6235F6C0F694B6D901EE

DEF0677963610E682A52E5B9A126B95E

so hopefully anyone that is thinking about doing this will read this to save them five minutes.
